Tesla Corner

One would think that there are other ways commemorate a scientific genius than a sign on the corner of Bryant Park at 6th and 40th Street because he liked to feed the pigeons there. Given this dubious honor, I can think of lots of honors we might bestow on other great men (and women). Put your thinking caps on.

Fashion Week

Aren't you glad Fashion Week is almost over?

Millions of Magazines

I love this magazine store. They carry pretty much everything you could ever want. It's not the most organized store which doesn't really bother me very much. They have stacks and stacks of foreign and domestic magazines from floor to ceiling. All of the international fashion magazines are available in the back room. You only find great magazine stores like this in New York City. They have this one magazine called Free Style Magazine that comes packaged inside of a Frisbee. It came out a couple months ago and I keep wanting to buy, but it's kind of expensive and I keep passing it up. Pretty soon it will be gone and I'll regret not having purchased it. This store is located right near Bryant Park.

Stuffed Banana Family

A family of stuffed bananas downstairs at Kinokuniya Books on 6th Avenue. It's located right across the street from Bryant Park. Their website is not very functional though, unless you speak Japanses.

They have an excellent selection of all sorts of great products from Japan. This stores has all sorts of unusual things. I like the tea shop on the 2nd floor with a wide selection of teas and things to eat.

Giant Octopus

I like giant octopus. One of the most mysterious undersea creatures. I saw this one at a great, great Japanese bookstore called Kinokuniya. It's on 6th Avenue and 41st Street, right across from Bryant Park. They sell toys and videos and magazines, but mostly books. There was so much good stuff there. This is what I should have gotten for my birthday if you would have remembered. Oh well, it's not too late. I accept late birthday presents.

Bryant Park Siestas

New Yorkers work much too hard. There's nothing wrong with a quick nap in Bryant Park at lunchtime to catch up on some much needed sleep.
